| Children falling critically ill with new 'coronavirus-related syndrome' as NHS issues alert Posted: 27 Apr 2020 01:09 AM PDT  Children are falling ill with a mystery 'inflammatory syndrome' thought to be linked to coronavirus, senior doctors have warned. NHS leaders have issued a nationwide alert after a sudden spike in children admitted to intensive care with rashes, kidney failure, and stomach problems. The young patients have been struck down by symptoms similar to toxic shock and Kawasaki syndrome, a rare condition that weakens the blood vessels and usually affects children under five. Some have been admitted to intensive care after their hearts became dangerously inflamed, while others have been put on ventilators, it is understood. On Monday night, Professor Stephen Powis, national medical director of NHS England, said he had asked experts to examine "as a matter of urgency" whether a coronavirus-related syndrome among children may be emerging in the UK. "We have become aware in the last few days of reports of severe illness in children which might be a Kawasaki-like disease," he said. "Both Chris (Whitty) and I are aware of that, and we have asked our experts; I have asked the National Clinical Director for Children and Young People to look into this as a matter of urgency." He said that Public Health England (PHE) was also looking into the reports, adding: "We're not sure at the moment - it is really too early to say whether there is a link."

| McConnell to Move Quickly on Confirming His 38-Year-Old Protégé to the Bench Posted: 27 Apr 2020 03:50 PM PDT  When the U.S. Senate returns from a lengthy absence next week, one of its first orders of business will be advancing the nomination of a 38-year-old ally of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to the second highest court in the land. According to two Democratic aides, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is expected to schedule a committee hearing for May 6 for Justin Walker, a federal judge in Kentucky whom President Trump has nominated to the influential D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. McConnell announced on Monday that the Senate would return to session on May 4 for its first full week of legislative business after the CARES Act passed in late March. And he has not been shy about his desire to start confirming judges as soon as his chamber is back in session. "I haven't seen anything that would discourage me from doing that. And as soon as we get back in session, we'll start confirming judges again," he told Hugh Hewitt in a recent interview. McConnell's office had no comment. Graham's office did not return a request for comment. Mitch McConnell Turned the Courts Conservative—and Democrats Helped HimWalker is a McConnell protégé who has close ties to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and played a high-profile role defending him during his contentious confirmation hearings. Walker moved up the ranks of conservative legal circles before landing a judgeship on the United States District Court of the Western District of Kentucky. There, his record has been distinguished by conservative jurisprudence and a flair for unorthodox rulings. "On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter," Walker wrote in ruling against ordinances restricting attendance at religious services do to the coronavirus pandemic, "that sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion."Walker's lack of experience and partisan background has earned him "not qualified" ratings from the American Bar Association and the opposition of Democrats, who see his nomination as a thinly veiled attempt to place young ideological allies in key judicial positions. "If Graham/McConnell go forward with this, it would show that Senate Rs are rushing the Senate back to confirm an unqualified, anti-health care judge instead of responding to the pandemic and conducting oversight," said a Senate Democratic aide.McConnell and Kavanaugh attended Walker's swearing-in on March 13 in Louisville. There, the majority leader and Walker, his former intern, praised each other effusively in public remarks.In his Monday announcement on the May 4 return, McConnell said the Senate "must focus on concrete steps to strengthen our response to this complex crisis," adding that lawmakers "cannot get distracted by pre-existing partisan wish-lists."Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

| China Says It Is ‘Victim’ of Coronavirus Disinformation, Accuses U.S. of ‘Hiding Something’ Posted: 27 Apr 2020 09:54 AM PDT  The Chinese government went on the attack Monday against U.S. criticism of the Beijing's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, claiming it is a "victim" of disinformation surrounding the pandemic and accusing the U.S. of "hiding something.""China always stands against disinformation campaign. We are victim rather than producer of disinformation," the Chinese foreign ministry wrote on its Twitter account. "Peddling disinformation and recrimination are by no means prescription for international anti-pandemic cooperation and should be rejected by all."Moments later, the foreign ministry added a tweet hammering the U.S. response to the coronavirus and suggesting that the U.S. government has been dishonest about the pandemic with the American public."Growing doubts over the US government's handling of the COVID19, e.g. When did the first infection occur in the US? Is the US government hiding something? Why they opt to blame others? American people and the international community need an answer from the US government," the foreign ministry tweeted.The U.S. has strongly condemned China's managing of the virus from the earliest days of the outbreak with the exception of President Trump's initial praise for Chinese president Xi Jinping.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week doubled down on his previous criticism of Beijing's response, saying the U.S. "strongly believed" China flouted World Health Organization rules by neglecting to report on the outbreak in a "timely fashion," and did not report on the community spread of the virus "for a month until it was in every province inside of China."Even after the Chinese Communist Party eventually reported the outbreak to the WHO, China did not share all the information it had on the virus, Pompeo said, but instead covered up the danger the disease posed, censored those who tried to warn the rest of the world, and halted the testing of new samples while destroying existing samples.The U.S. intelligence community concluded in a classified report released Wednesday that China deliberately provided incomplete public numbers for coronavirus cases and deaths resulting from the infection.In December, local and national officials issued a gag order to labs in Wuhan after scientists there identified a new viral pneumonia, ordering them to halt tests, destroy samples, and conceal the news.Meanwhile, Wuhan doctor Ai Fen, who expressed early concerns about the coronavirus to the media, disappeared several weeks ago and is believed detained by Chinese authorities. Fen, the head of emergency at Wuhan Central Hospital, was given a warning after she disseminated information about the coronavirus to several other doctors.

| Australia rejects Chinese 'economic coercion' threat amid planned coronavirus probe Posted: 27 Apr 2020 02:17 AM PDT  Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne has cautioned China against attempts at "economic coercion" as Australia pushes for an investigation into the coronavirus pandemic that China opposes. Chinese ambassador to Australia, Cheng Jingye, said in a newspaper interview on Monday the "Chinese public" could avoid Australian products and universities.

| Tucker Carlson: Coronavirus ‘Isn’t Nearly as Deadly as We Thought’ Posted: 27 Apr 2020 08:01 PM PDT  Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who received mainstream praise for helping push President Donald Trump to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously, confidently declared on Monday night that the virus that has killed more than 56,000 Americans in only a few weeks "just isn't nearly as deadly as we thought it was."Pointing to recent antibody studies that show high rates of infection in New York and California, Carlson kicked off his primetime Fox News program by claiming these tests—which critics have warned could be flawed due to false positives and statistical errors—reveal the disease is not as dangerous as advertised."This new evidence means the virus is far less deadly, a full order of magnitude less deadly, that authorities first told us it was," the Tucker Carlson Tonight host said. "At the same time, the same research suggests the virus is incredibly easy to spread between adults."The Fox star eventually moved on to highly scrutinized claims made by a pair of California doctors to further his case that coronavirus has already infected a large percentage of the population with very little damage.Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, who co-own a Bakersfield urgent care clinic, asserted last week that if one took the infection rate of the patients they have tested in their facility and extrapolated it across California, 12 percent of the state's population, or 5 million people, have already had the disease. The doctors then took California's total number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths at the time, roughly 1,200, and divided it by the number of cases they believe exist in the state, arriving at an ultra-low 0.03 percent mortality rate.Carlson said the two doctors, who are calling for an end to shelter-in-place orders as a result of their calculations, are "serious people" who are asking questions after "analyzing all the numbers."Local health experts and epidemiologists disagree with the doctors' recommendations to immediately stop social distancing. Andrew Noymer, an associate professor of public health at UC Irvine, said their premise was wrong, noting that they are grossly overestimating the infection rate due to statistical bias."They're advancing factual inaccuracies and playing off the esoteric nature of the mortality stats to make a case that the economy should be reopened," Noymer told The Californian. "I agree it should be reopened, but it should be opened deliberately, bit by bit, and informed by science. Not informed by a misreading of the mortality."Carlson continued to dismiss nationwide physical distancing guidelines as having played any role in helping to flatten the curve of the spread of the virus, which he again insisted was not so dangerous."Six weeks later we are happy to say that curve has been flattened, but it's likely not because of the lockdowns," he proclaimed. "The virus just isn't nearly as deadly as we thought it was, all of us, including on this show. Everybody thought it was, but it turned out not to be."Carlson, who in early March appeared to call out both Trump and his Fox News colleagues for minimizing the severity of the coronavirus, has become in recent weeks one of the loudest voices at Fox calling for an end to stay-at-home restrictions in order to restart the economy.His network, meanwhile, recently cut ties with pro-Trump vlogging superstars Diamond & Silk, largely as a result of their peddling of conspiracy theories and disinformation about the coronavirus, including claims that the virus is not so deadly and that people should purposely get infected to gain immunity.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| Coronavirus cases in India climb towards 30,000; Pakistan mosques a growing worry Posted: 28 Apr 2020 06:04 AM PDT  India was nearing 30,000 coronavirus infections on Tuesday, second only to China in Asia, a steady rise that would make it difficult to lift a nearly six-week lockdown that ends this weekend, health officials and some government leaders said. Neighbouring Pakistan also recorded a jump in cases and deaths from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, and there were concerns that many people were gathering in mosques for Ramadan prayers despite strict rules on distancing. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has allowed some farm and industrial activity to resume in less-affected rural areas after the shutdown of the economy left millions without work and short of food and shelter.

| Senator Tom Cotton Suggests Denying Visas for Chinese Students to Study Science in U.S. Posted: 27 Apr 2020 06:00 AM PDT  Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) suggested on Sunday that the government should deny visas to Chinese students who want to study science in the U.S."It's a scandal to me that we have trained so many of the Chinese Communist Party's brightest minds to go back to China, to compete for our jobs, to take our business and ultimately to steal our property and design weapons and other devices that can be used against the American people," Cotton said in an interview on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures. "I think we need to take a very hard look at the visas that we give to Chinese nationals to come to the United States to study, especially at the postgraduate level in advanced scientific and technological fields."Cotton went on, "If Chinese students want to come here and study Shakespeare and the Federalist Papers, that's what they need to learn from America. They don't need to learn quantum computing and artificial intelligence from America."U.S. law enforcement agencies have investigated numerous instances of intellectual property theft by Chinese nationals, generally in science and technology fields. Some of those suspected of theft have obtained Chinese patents for work owned and funded by the U.S., while others have duplicated U.S. research in secret labs in China.In January, the Justice Department filed an indictment against Charles Lieber, head of Harvard University's chemistry department, for failing to disclose funding he received from China's "thousand talents" program. That program funds research for specific scientists, but the U.S. government has charged numerous beneficiaries of the program with intellectual property theft.

| Oxford researchers have reportedly received promising news about their coronavirus vaccine Posted: 27 Apr 2020 02:55 PM PDT  The University of Oxford's Jenner Institute made waves last week when U.K. Health Minister Matt Hancock announced a team is starting trials on a potential coronavirus vaccine of which there could be a million doses by September, which is, in vaccine terms, incredibly fast. There's still a long way to go before determining if the vaccine is viable, but The New York Times reports there's promising news that it may be both safe and effective.Scientists at the National Institute of Health's Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Montana tested the Oxford vaccine on six rhesus macaques monkeys. The monkeys were exposed to heavy quantities of the coronavirus, an amount that had previously sickened other monkeys in the lab, before receiving a single dose of the vaccine. More than four weeks later all six monkeys were healthy, Dr. Vincent Munster, the researcher who conducted the test, told the Times. That doesn't mean it will work the same way in humans, but Munster noted the rhesus macaque is "pretty much the closest thing we have to humans," so the results are at least promising.One thing that could hold trials back, however, is if other measures to curb the pandemic, such as social distancing, work too well, the Times reports. In order to get a real sense of a vaccine's efficacy, tests need to be conducted in places where the virus is spreading swiftly.

| Ivory Coast presidential candidate Soro sentenced to 20 years in prison Posted: 28 Apr 2020 07:52 AM PDT  Guillaume Soro, the former rebel leader running for president in Ivory Coast, was convicted in absentia on Tuesday of embezzlement and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for Soro in December -- just before he planned to return home from Europe to launch his campaign -- for allegedly plotting a coup against his former ally Ouattara's government and stealing public funds.

| Bill Gates Dismisses Chinese Coronavirus Coverup: ‘It’s Not Even Time for That Discussion’ Posted: 27 Apr 2020 07:16 AM PDT  Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates called allegations that China cost the world valuable time by covering up the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus a "distraction" in an interview Sunday, adding that "China did a lot of things right at the beginning."Speaking to CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday, Gates pushed back on criticism of Beijing's initial response, saying "I don't think that's a timely thing, because it doesn't affect how we act today.""It's not time to talk about that, this is the time to take the great science we have, the fact that we're in this together, fix testing, treatments, and get that vaccine, and minimize the trillions of dollars and many things that you can't even dimensionalize in economic terms that are awful, about the situation that we're in," Gates stated. "So that's a distraction, I think there's a lot of incorrect and unfair things said, but it's not even time for that discussion."> The challenges of fighting Covid-19 in developing countries, how China and the WHO have handled this crisis, and what to make of wild coronavirus conspiracy theories. Pt. 3 of my GPS interview w/ @BillGates: pic.twitter.com/QJJuAR52SM> > -- Fareed Zakaria (@FareedZakaria) April 26, 2020A detailed timeline of Beijing's response to the virus's origins in Wuhan shows that the government gagged the spread of information about the virus for weeks after it had first been noticed, with health officials being warned privately of "a major public health event" nearly a week before the public was alerted to the threat.U.S. intelligence believes that China purposefully misled the global community on the extent of its coronavirus outbreak, with one study finding that the government could have prevented 95 percent of coronavirus infections if it had acted sooner to stem the initial outbreak. Last week, the head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention admitted to state media that the government "knew there must be human-to-human transmission" of the novel virus, despite his organization saying January 15 that "the risk of sustained human-to-human transmission is low."When asked about the World Health Organization's culpability on Sunday, Gates said "basically no," pushing back on President Trump's claim that the organization is "very China-centric.""In the retrospective, we'll see things the WHO could have done better, just like every actor in this whole picture, but the WHO has a strong connection with one country. That country is the United States," Gates stated. He went on to call the WHO a "phenomenal organization that we're more dependent on today, to drive things, than we ever have been."
